Matcha Ren Rebrands as United Matcha, New Menu Includes Greek Froyo

Fro-yo girl here. Frozen yogurt is back at the Shops at Santa Anita! It was last spotted inside Kirin Buffet which closed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I noticed the Matcha Ren shop changed names. It’s the same business but they rebranded as United Matcha and changed the menu. The new menu has matcha mochi crepes, kakigori shaved ice, parfaits, and shiratama ice cream.

Plain Greek frozen yogurt replaced Hokkaido milk soft serve on the menu. The only toppings listed on the menu were three drizzles (strawberry, mango, Kuromitsu), and mochi (these are big Japanese rice balls, not the packaged Korean mochi).

Prices:

• Cup or cone, $6.90
• Drizzles, $0.50 each
• Mochi, 3 pieces for $1

The cup was small – what I would consider to be a mini. The yogurt was better than I expected – creamy, smooth, with a milky flavor, mild tang, and sweet finish. Personally, I would prefer a stronger yogurt flavor and more tang. It wasn’t crazy sweet. The rice balls were nice and chewy.

The parfaits come with other toppings like tea jelly, toasted rice cereal, red bean paste, and matcha castella. I wonder why these aren’t available as soft serve toppings. Or are they?

Westfield Santa Anita, rebranded as the Shops at Santa Anita, was once the home of Nubi Yogurt, Tutti Frutti, Cefiore, and Sweet XO.

Matcha Ren in San Jose and Costa Mesa are now known as United Matcha (and serve Greek froyo).

Save the Date: National Spoon Day at Yogurtland

 

Fro-yo girl here. National Spoon Day is October 7 and Yogurtland will be offering a free Cappuccino giant spoon with every minimum $15 in store purchase. There’s a maximum of two spoons per transaction.

The Cappuccino spoon is the newest addition to the giant spoon lineup — the color feels cozy and fall appropriate. It’s exactly 12 inches long, with Yogurtland printed on the handle. The design commemorates Yogurtland’s 20th anniversary.

In case you’re wondering, the previous National Spoon Day giant Yogurtland spoons were: pink and green (2020), raspberry (2021), turquoise (2022), dark blue (2023), apricot (2024), and midnight plum (2025).

Will you be collecting the Cappuccino giant spoon?

New Back to School Yummtastic Spoon at Menchie’s

 

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s just dropped a new fall, back to school spoon. The yellow spoon features Menchie holding a book that says Froyo 101. The back of the spoon shows the back of Menchie. The spoon says yummtastic! on the handle.

The spoon is available for a limited time, while supplies last. This is the fourth new Menchie’s spoon of this year.

Esso Caffé in Beverly Hills Adds Froyo

 

Fro-yo girl here. Esso Caffe in Beverly Hills just started offering froyo. During my visit, they had two flavors: peach mango and plain tart Greek yogurt. The menu mentioned several toppings, but I was told that they only had sprinkles.

The employees were struggling with the soft serve machine and having difficulty dispensing any yogurt. The texture of the frozen yogurt was terrible – icy and gritty. The peach mango yogurt color was so unnatural. The plain tart was mildly tangy and bland. The peach mango yogurt was very sweet.

I rarely throw my froyo away, but I did because I just didn’t want to finish it. I was shocked by how bad the froyo was.

Esso Caffe does have another location in Glendale. I hope they don’t decide to serve froyo there unless they figure out how to do it well.

Yogurtland’s Exclusive Too Faced Sweet Peach Tart Flavor

 

Fro-yo girl here. Today was the launch of Yogurtland’s exclusive Too Faced Sweet Peach tart froyo flavor, inspired by the Too Faced Peach collection, which includes the Sweet Peach eyeshadow palette, Peach Perfector loose setting powder, Peach Mist hydrating setting spray, and Primed & Peachy hydrating face primer. The collection is available at Sephora and toofaced.com

They had special cups with the name of the new flavor, Yogurtland x Too Faced I Love Peaches stickers, and sweet peach gummy rings to pair with the froyo.

I don’t think the froyo flavor is new, but they might have tweaked the existing Peach Tart flavor. I enjoyed the tang, but found the peach flavor to taste canned and/or not like fresh, real peaches. The flavor is made with peaches though.

I was hoping they’d do more with the collab, like have mini Too Faced Peach samples or a giveaway/contest. I think it's the first time Yogurtland has collaborated with a beauty brand.

The People of Sonoma Are Asking for Froyo

Fro-yo girl here. It’s been a long time since I visited Sonoma, but I have fond memories of walking around downtown Sonoma around Sonoma Plaza. It’s the largest town square in California.

Sadly, I’ve never had any froyo in Sonoma. And the city has been without a froyo shop since Top That Yogurt closed in 2021. There are ice cream shops, but they do not serve froyo.

Granted, the city is small with an estimated population of 10,505, but it is a popular destination. In 2025, Sonoma had 10.5 million visitors who spent $2.4 billion; 45.4% were overnight visitors.

There is a 1,100 sq ft space in front of the high school, half a mile from downtown that would be perfect for a froyo shop. If interested, call Navjot at (415) 597-6644 for details.

First Pumpkin Pie Froyo of the Year

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland’s Pumpkin Pie froyo returned on September 1! It is the featured seasonal flavor. It’s swirling next to Cheesecake froyo. Swirl them together to create a Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Swirl.

I spotted brown sugar boba as the new topping, perfect with their Thai Tea froyo.

And I heard that there will be a new giant spoon drop on National Spoon Day, October 7. Save the date! The spoon will be a new fall color.

I also found Pumpkin Pie Ellenos on sale at Target. Yum!

New at Menchie’s in September

Fro-yo girl here. Happy September. Menchie’s has two featured flavors for September: Chocolate Frosted Donut froyo made with Dove chocolate and the returning favorite, Harvest Pumpkin froyo. I thought Menchie’s already had a donut flavor, but it hasn’t (Yogurtland had Maple Donut froyo though).

Chocolate Frosted Donut froyo: Menchie’s describes this flavor as, “Inspired by a chocolate frosted donut, this flavor features rich dark chocolate frosting swirled into smooth, creamy frozen yogurt. Every bite blends Dove’s dark chocolate with notes of freshly fried dough for an indulgent experience.” It didn’t taste like dark chocolate, but it did taste different from a regular chocolate froyo. The fried dough flavor was like cake batter or something. The texture was icier than I expected. I didn’t like the flavor at all. It would be better if it were just dark chocolate froyo. Recommended toppings: chocolate shell, chocolate chips

Menchie’s has a new promotion where you can earn double points on Tuesdays in September between 4 PM – 6 PM when you scan your app. Also, everyone who scans the app will be entered into a contest where you could win a $100 froyo party for your class.

Also, the Susan G. Komen fundraiser is back. Donate a minimum of $1 at the register, and you’ll get a sign to fill out and a sticker. They’ll put the sign on the wall to show your support for the fundraiser.

Froyo Scene in Walnut, CA

Cafe BT, formerly Boba Time

Fro-yo girl here. Walnut is a city in east Los Angeles County bordered by West Covina, Diamond Bar, and Pomona. The city is approximately 8.9 square miles with 30,000 residents and 600 businesses. It’s a smaller city with one froyo shop, Yogurtland, and one boba shop that serves froyo, Café BT (formerly known as Boba Time). 

There were two other froyo shops in Walnut, Red Mango and Golden Spoon. Yogurtland took over the Golden Spoon space. Café BT took over the Red Mango space.

Places To Get Froyo

Café BT, 19820 Colima Rd, opened in 2007 as a boba shop with one flavor of froyo, plain.

Yogurtland, 21710 Valley Blvd B, opened in 2016 and was the first self-serve froyo shop in Walnut.

Closed Froyo Shops

Golden Spoon, 21710 Valley Blvd, Ste B, was a counter-serve froyo shop that was open from 2007 (or earlier) – 2016.

Red Mango, 19820 Colima Rd, existed in Walnut, but I couldn’t find reviews or information. My guess is that it was open briefly in 2007. 

Did I miss any froyo shops in Walnut? If so, let me know.

Frankie Greek Yogurt Pop-Up at Olive & James Coffee

Fro-yo girl here. There’s a new froyo pop-up in town — Frankie Greek Yogurt, now swirling on weekends inside Olive & James Coffee on Melrose. They’re open Friday through Sunday, 2 PM to 10 PM, and it’s a counter-serve setup with one flavor, one size, and a curated, elevated toppings bar.

For a flat rate of $10.90, you get 8 oz of froyo, two toppings, and any sauces. Extra toppings are $1.

The toppings case had a mix of elevated and classic options:

• Sauces: bitter orange, honey, olive oil, plus several unlisted ones
• Toppings: sea salt, granola, cookies, seasonal fruit (fresh cherries), dates, pistachios, butter crisps, goji berries, Belgian waffles, dried mango, shredded coconut

I watched them pull the froyo, and it looked super thick and creamy. And yes, it tasted as good as it looked.

The texture was creamy and smooth, with a mild tang and a sweet finish. Personally, I prefer a bit more tang in my Greek froyo, but I still appreciated the quality. The fresh cherries + chopped pistachios were a perfect combo as well.

Tip: Not everything is printed on the menu — check the case to see what’s actually available. You cannot order froyo at the self-serve kiosk. Go to the counter if you want froyo.

New Passion Fruit Froyo at Van Leeuwen

Fro-yo girl here. Van Leeuwen just dropped a new froyo flavor, Passion Fruit, at all Van Leeuwen locations with froyo (i.e., 14 VL scoop shops). It’s a tart-based froyo made with organic A2 Bulgarian yogurt and passion fruit puree.

Passion fruit froyo: The froyo was creamy and soft in texture. The flavor was punchy and very tangy. It definitely tasted like passion fruit and yogurt (even with a slightly fermented flavor). It also was quite sweet. I don’t love passion fruit, but I don’t hate it either. When it comes to passion fruit froyo, I prefer passion fruit combined with another fruit flavor. Recommended toppings: toasted coconut, honey slivered almonds, passion fruit sauce or raspberry puree.

Normal Ice Cream Soft Serve Pop-up

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve seen Normal Ice Cream pints in stores and walked by the brick & mortar shop in Salt Lake City (it’s on the same street as Yagoot), but I haven’t tried it yet. When I saw that they had a soft serve pop-up in Atwater Village, I stopped by. The LA pop-ups have been going on for over a year, and the next one takes place on August 30 at Gjusta Grocer in Venice, CA, from 1 PM – 4 PM.

The bright yellow cart was set up outside of Wine & Eggs. There was one soft serve flavor, salted vanilla bean, available in a cup or cone ($6), with the option of adding a dark chocolate or almond butter dip ($3), and fancy toppings (pretzel shortbread, lemon curd, raspberry jam, chocolate chip cookie, raspberry powder).

The soft serve was soft, silky, and very creamy. The flavor was so mild though. It tasted like milk soft serve. I couldn’t taste vanilla or salt. The pretzel shortbread added a nice crunch, but it tasted like regular shortbread. I could not taste the pretzel. The lemon curd didn’t have much tang. The flavors were muted, but the ingredients were high quality.

I wish I had visited when they offered a more interesting flavor than vanilla.

New Pinkberry Froyo Flavor, Midnight Margarita & Practical Magic 2 Sweepstakes

Fro-yo girl here. Pinkberry just launched a flavor inspired by the movie, Practical Magic 2. In Practical Magic, the main witches make margaritas at midnight. Some fans add a witchy twist by adding blackberries.

Pinkberry’s Midnight Margarita froyo blends blackberries and limes (and I think a sweet and sour mix?). It tastes more like lime than blackberries, but it also tastes like something other than blackberries, lime, and froyo. I liked how it was sour and tangy. It’s not the most natural tasting, but I still enjoyed the very lime-forward, sweet/sour froyo. Pinkberry recommends adding fresh blackberries, black salt, purple sugar, and a lime slice.

They had Practical Magic 2 cups. There’s also a Midnight Margarita refresher.

Enter the Practical Magic 2 sweepstakes for a chance to win a private screening of the movie, PM2 merchandise, and a Pinkberry gift card.

Practical Magic 2 arrives in theaters on September 10.

Yogurtland Opens in El Monte’s Santa Fe Trail Plaza

Fro-yo girl here. Good news. Yogurtland just opened this week in El Monte, CA, at Santa Fe Trail Plaza. It took over the old Menchie’s space. The Menchie’s owner wanted to retire, hence Menchie’s was replaced by Yogurtland.

I was afraid that they would keep the old Menchie's machines and do a quick renovation, but fortunately, they did a full renovation, building a new wall for the froyo machines and a new toppings bar. Also, the soft serve machines are new, and they’re working very well. The texture of the froyo is better than at most Yogurtland locations. There are 16 flavors a day and the usual Yogurtland toppings and sauces. It’s $0.81/oz.

Root beer float froyo is the current seasonal flavor.

I heard that the owner of Yogurtland Santa Fe Trail also owns the Yogurtland in Walnut. No date has been set for the grand opening.

Want Want QQ Kitty Paw Gummy Yogurt Candy Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Weee! is currently selling Want Want QQ Kitty Paw Gummy candy for $1.79 each. One pouch is 45g. The paws are yogurt-flavored gummies imported from China.

Each pouch is resealable. One serving (1 packet) is 145 calories. Each paw has two layers, a bottom white layer and a fruity top layer. The candy is squishy but very firm. The white yogurt- flavored layer is a bit spongier and sweeter. The yogurt flavor tastes like Yakult.

Available flavors: grape yogurt, orange yogurt, strawberry yogurt

• Strawberry yogurt: similarly sweet, firm, and chewy with mild artificial strawberry flavor
• Grape yogurt: very sweet, very firm yet chewy, hint of fake grape flavor
• Orange yogurt: the yogurt flavor seems stronger, but that’s not a good thing. The orange flavor is very faint.

It’s candy, so I can understand why the flavors are artificial, but the flavor is too sweet with little tang, and the candy is too firm. The strawberry was my favorite flavor.

Revisiting Coconut Cult in 2026

 

Fro-yo girl here. I first tried and reviewed Coconut Cult in 2022. I tried the Original Coconut Yogurt and found the texture to be grainy and the fermented flavor was very strong. The ingredients were simple: coconuts and probiotics.

Recently, I noticed that Target started carrying Coconut Cult mini 4 oz cups. The packaging looked appealing. There is 200 billion CFU per cup and 16 live probiotic strains. The cups are $3.99 each.

Coconut Cult minis are made with the same live fermented coconut yogurt as the larger 8 fl oz and 16 fl oz jars. The yogurt is organic and contains no gums, fillers, or preservatives.

One thing to note is that the minis are small, smaller than your typical cup of yogurt, and each cup contains two servings. One serving is a mere 2 oz. 

Available flavors:

• Apple cinnamon roll
• Cookies & cream
• Banana cream pie
• Organic berry basket: very intense berry flavor but also intense coconut flavor, it’s super rich, super thick, and super tangy. The yogurt is made with freeze-dried raspberries and blueberries. One 2 oz serving is 160 calories, 12g total fat, 8g total carbs, 6g total sugars, and 2g protein.
• Lemon meringue: thick, rich, super tangy, also pretty sweet, strong coconut and lemon flavors. One 2 oz serving is 100 calories, 8g total fat, 7g total carbs, 5g total sugars, and 2g protein. It's not as thick as berry basket though.

I’m glad I gave Coconut Cult another try. The yogurt is super flavorful, thick, and rich, thanks to the coconut cream and the fermentation. 

Coconut Cult froyo launched this year. You can get it at Nude Miami and Sunlife Organics in the Hamptons.

626 Night Market 2026: Asian Food Trends

Fro-yo girl here. Froyo is back but there wasn’t any at 626 Night Market this year. I did get some frozen yogurt skewers last year from MOJO, but MOJO wasn’t there this year. 626 Night Market seemed much better before the pandemic. It felt like there were more Korean vendors than ever this year and fewer Chinese vendors. Only one place offers stinky tofu now. In the good old days, you could smell a lot of stinky tofu.

For desserts, I spotted taiyaki, taiyaki ice cream, Italian ice, Hawaiian honey cones, funnel cakes, shaved ice, ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, churros, crème brulee, cinnamon rolls, mango sticky rice, cheesecake on a stick, and banana pudding.

I didn’t see any food trucks, and the vendors that I went to last year weren’t there. But there were new vendors, more seating, and misting stations. It felt less exciting and novel though. Sushi tacos and sushi pizza might have been new.

I did try the Japanese sandwich pop-up, Sandoitchi, but it was disappointing since they didn’t use milk bread, and they didn’t cut all the crusts off my $15 egg salad sando.

Free parking. Admission is $8. They used to always have the last market of the year during Labor Day weekend, but this year they only had the market in June and August. Foodieland acquired 626 Night Market last year.

The food is better at Smorgasburg, which has free parking and free admission, but it’s not open at night. I also think Wat Thai Temple in North Hollywood has better, more affordable food, but it’s mostly Thai and not open at night. It’s hard to find a regular night market, though there is a new one in Hollywood.

Menchie’s Creamy Rootbeer Float & Café Gelato

 

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s is featuring two new flavors this month, Creamy Roobeer Float froyo and Café Gelato with live and active cultures. 

Creamy Root Beer Float froyo was inspired by National Root Beer Float Day, celebrated annually on August 6. It blends the nostalgic flavors of root beer and creamy vanilla ice cream. It’s made with no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. I could definitely taste the root beer spices, but the flavor was mild enough to pair well with other flavors like vanilla. Recommended toppings: Hershey’s mini Kisses, Cool Whip.

The new Gourmet Café Gelato is creamy and has live and active cultures. Menchie’s describes it as, “the perfect harmony between bold, roasted coffee notes and a luxurious, sweet, creamy finish.” It wasn’t as creamy as I expected but the coffee flavor was still nice. Recommended toppings: almonds, chocolate shell.

For National Wellness Month, Menchie’s is giving away a gold Oura ring. Scan your Menchie’s app at the register for a chance to win.

Haitai Pollapo Yogurt Flavored Ice Tube Review

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been seeing Haitai Pollapo at various Asian markets lately. Pollapo is a yogurt-flavored ice tube imported from South Korea. One bag contains five frozen dessert tubes. Each individually wrapped tube is 120 mL. H Mart is selling Pollapo for $4.99/bag.

Pollapo Yogurt: It’s supposed to be cool and refreshing. The tube was solid and very firm. To consume, you peel off the top and push the bottom up (like a push-up pop). It tastes like what you’d imagine frozen Yakult to taste like. It was super sweet and very icy. I could not finish more than one bite.

One tube is 80 calories with 0g fat, 20g total carbs, 13g total sugars, and 0g protein. The main ingredients are water and corn syrup.

I can’t think of anything positive to say about Pollapo. The yogurt flavor was introduced in November 2025.

1 out of 5 stars.

A Visit to Froyo & Fido in Simi Valley

Fro-yo girl here. It took me a few months, but I finally visited the new Froyo & Fido in Simi Valley. It’s a self-serve froyo shop that sells dog accessories, bagged candy, and canned beverages.

The shop was clean and cheerful. I like how you can find the flavors of the day on their website, as well as nutritional information. Service was better than average.

There are eight self-serve froyo flavors a day and a well-stocked toppings bar. It’s $0.79/ounce. Sample cups are available.

Froyo flavors:

• Jolly rancher
• Tart: rather bland, mild tartness
• Strawberry
• Cotton candy
• French vanilla
• Cake batter
• Chocolate
• Peanut butter cup: creamy, not too chocolatey

The yogurt is good but it’s not special. I think Yogurtland has better flavors. Froyo & Fido feels more relaxed and personal though. You can pick up a cup of froyo for your dog, a dog treat, and dog bandana here. Every other Thursday, 20% of froyo sales will go to the Community Pet Fund to help local families with vet bills.
